Stroud and Freeman are general partners in Stroud’s Food Cen-
ter, a grocery store. Nothing in the articles of partnership restricts
the power or authority of either partner to act in respect to the
ordinary business of the Food Center. In November, however,

responsible for any more bread sold to the partnership. Then,
in the following February, at the request of Freeman, National
Biscuit sold and delivered more bread to the Food Center.
